Engines to avoid on F-250?
Got a lot of feedback on the F-150 5.4L 3v having a lot of problems. Is there any specific engine/year to avoid on the F-250? Thanks for the help.

I have the 6.2l gasser with a 6 speed. We've had the truck two years towing a heavy 30 footer. Sunnybrook has an aluminum frame. The engine is fine, the 6 speed gets it up and going perfectly. The truck was outfitted with the camper package and has 3.73 rear gears. Im slowly tweaking it and added a K & N cold air kit. Next will be the exhaust then a tune. Not for more power although that is good, but to inch up the mpgs. Just completed a 1500 mile trip and we averaged in the high 8's, 9 mpg. I noticed that while towing it rarely would stay in 6 th gear at highway speeds. Love the truck and the set up
The K&N will add dirt to the engine and not add a bit of fuel mileage. It might add a very, very small amount of power. JMHO.
